| 30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT January 4th What books and/or movies are on your list to read/watch this year? What are your “go to” genres? I am excited about seeing Little Women, the new Star Wars movie, Knives Out, and Cats. I also want to see Doctor Doolittle. How's that for variety. I'd say, I'm pretty eclectic. There are usually a lot of duds as far as movies go, but these all seem good to me. I'm pretty open... except for horror. I am not crazy about psychological thrillers either. There are always exceptions. I happen to like The Sixth Sense and The Others. Both have cool twists that I really liked. As for reading.... I am a big fan of anything Jill Shalvis. She is a romance author. I find I read romance when I need an escape, but I have also been known to enjoy a good mystery. My reading tastes are pretty eclectic as well as my GoodReads account can attest. I am currently dragging around Watermark by Jennifer Farquhar, Dare Greatly by Brene Brown, Calm The F*ck Down by Sarah Knight and The Book of Being and Doing by Barnet Bain. January tends to run towards nonfiction and self improvement. Though I will admit I usually have something like that going all year. I used to sign up to read 90 books for the year on GoodReads, but I have been making the list smaller (30 books this year) and reading a few more in depth books. By that I mean, books that take me longer than a day or two to read (like a romance). I got a Gillar Prize nominees and a Governor General nonfiction awarded book for Christmas. My aunt always gets me these and although the two she gave me do interest me, I cannot stand hard cover books! I already carry around far too much weigh on my back without adding a whole forest. Paperbacks are easier and lighter. They are also easier to whip out when I am in a line or waiting for a meeting. There is a strong chance I may not bother keeping them in favour of finding a lighter paperback version from the library in a few years. When it comes to prize wining books or movies, I am usually not a fan. I find them boring and tedious. I wonder what made them prize winning, but I don't want to waste my time with them as I have ZERO interest in the winner. |
